Many bacterial infections can be "flesh eating" so to speak. What is the problem? Do you have a fish that is losing flesh? What kind of fish is it? Do you have pictures?

Head & Lateral Line Erosion. I don't think it would apply to star fish.

Yes please do!! HLLE is a very nasty disease... although it doesn't apply here, you will want to prevent it in your fish. Tangs are the most susceptible it seems but not the only ones that can be effected by it.
